Benefits of technology

The patent is about a head-mounted display (HMD) and a way to control it that can make the best use of the content it produces. The technical effect is to optimize the delivery of information from the HMD.

Problems solved by technology

When desiring to control the HMD by using the above-described method, controlling the contents displayed by the HMD is limited depending on the user's posture or an ambient environment.
For example, when the lies on its side or is adjacent to a peripheral object, a movement of one of both arms which are capable of controlling the HMD is limited.
Therefore, a movement of one arm of the user is limited, and for this reason, it is inconvenient to control the HMD.

Abstract

Disclosed is a head mounted display (HMD) that provide contents to a user in a state of being worn on a user's head. The HMD includes a display unit configured to include a first region, which displays first contents, and a second region which is disposed next to both sides of the first region and display second contents associated with the first contents, a sensing unit configured to sense a motion of a head of a user wearing the HMD in a state where the HMD is worn on the head of the user, and a controller configured to, based on the sensing result, when a state in which a movement of the HMD is limited is sensed, determine a direction in which the movement of the HMD is limited, and change a display position of at least one portion of second contents which are displayed in a region corresponding to the determined direction in the second region which is disposed next to both sides of the first region.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119(a), this application claims the benefit of earlier filing date and right of priority to Korean Application No. 10-2014-0076694, filed on Jun. 23, 2014, the contents of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]1. Field of the Disclosure[0003]The present disclosure relates to a head mounted display (HMD) that provide contents to a user in a state of being worn on a user's head.[0004]2. Background of the Disclosure[0005]HMDs denote various image display devices that are worn on a user's head like glasses, and enable the user to view a video (contents). With the lightening and miniaturizing trend of digital devices, various wearable computers are being developed, and the HMDs are being widely used. In addition to a simple display function, the HMDs provide various conveniences to a user in combination with augmented reality (AR) technology and N screen technology.[00...
